Members of the Kuruman Stock Theft and Endangered Species Unit recovered three Bonsmara cattle valued at more than R40 000-00
Members of the Kuruman Stock Theft and Endangered Species Unit recovered three Bonsmara cattle valued at more than R40 000-00 on Wednesday, 01 April 2026, and subsequently arrested two suspects, aged 36 and 41, respectively.
The suspects were apprehended while attempting to sell the cattle at a feedlot which is a feed yard where primarily beef cattle are taken to be forced fed for market before being slaughtered in Kuruman.
Police were alerted to the incident and swiftly followed up on the information.
Upon arrival at the feedlot, members identified brand markings on the cattle and circulated the details on the SAPS system.
Further investigation led the members to Camden Village, near Kuruman, where it was established that the cattle had been stolen from a cattle post.
The rightful owner was notified, and a case of stock theft was registered at Kuruman Police Station.
The recovered cattle were returned to the lawful owner.
A white one-ton bakkie and a trailer, which were used in the commission of the crime, were confiscated and booked into the SAPS 13 store as evidence. #StockTheft
